Five Fake Hurricane Harvey Photos Making the Rounds

Whenever big events like natural disasters occur, it can be nearly impossible to distinguish what information is real and what’s made up in the midst of the chaos. That’s why it’s important to stay informed on up to date information and always fact check when possible.

As you know, Hurricane Harvey made landfall along the Texas coastline on Friday, August 25. It’s the first major hurricane to hit the U.S. since Wilma in 2005 and the strongest since Hurricane Charley in 2004.

It is also the strongest hurricane in Texas since Carla in 1961 and it has already broken the all-time Texas rainfall record from a tropical storm or hurricane. Needless to say, the destruction Harvey is unleashing is massive and it’s not over yet.
